Love this app at the moment - it will have a fight when SyncForLemmy comes out.

Sync isn't going to be FOSS, so no, there is no competition, IMO.

I mean, they are going to be pulling from a similar pool of users. While I agree philosophically that FOSS is better, I can imagine some of the paid features from someone being able to dedicate themselves full time to developing an app may be preferable.
